The show they put on is awesome. Even if it is all planned and everything during the songs is planned, they still put on a great show. The band sounds super tight and I haven't seen Jon in a better mood ever. He works the stage, he interacts with the crowd and at the end of the night he is drained.
I was thinking most press/newspapers would be very critical / synical about Bon Jovi in 2019. I thougth the reviews would get 1 or 2 stars but they are getting 4 and 5 star reviews and I can understand why.
I go and see a lot of bands. I've seen Bon Jovi over 35 times between 1993 and today and I can honestly say that the show's I've seen this tour are still really really good.
I agree on the vocal part and clearly the setlist are shorter then before ( 22 songs mostly) as opposed to 25 ( and ocasionally 27 /28 ). But, I prefere a band that knows it's limits - more ain't always better. Jon probably knows he can go at 100% for 22 songs and not more.
And I agree he does not sound perfect but he clearly gives it a 100% and THAT, I like. The show might be standard, vanilla, routine, but what they do comes close to perfection and Jon is clearly doing what he does best. He's being a great frontman. I can imagine his vocal coach or whatever coach is advising him to not go over certain limits if he wants to be able to continu his career for a few more years.
And no, I am not the kind of fan who thinks all the band does is fantastic. I have been bitching on many things, but when I see the band live, I still get amazed. The only competition they have is their own past.
